Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wild rice
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Red onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 12 ounces Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and quartered)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the wild rice under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve.
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the wild rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the diced red onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are heated through and slightly golden on the edges.
Add the cooked wild rice to the skillet with the artichoke mixture. Stir well to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the rice mixture and sprinkle in the thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with slivered almonds, if desired. Serve warm.
